Chapter 138 Ancient Ruins, Bewitched and Recognized as the Master
The crack was narrow and cramped, so Yan Yue and Nong Jin could only move slowly sideways along the rock wall.
In the darkness, apart from each other's heavy breathing, the only sound was the rustling of clothes rubbing against the rocks, which sounded like the whispers of some unknown creature and was creepy.
"Wife, this place is eerie. Is it haunted?" Nong Jin's voice trembled slightly as he pressed tightly against Yan Yue, as if this would give him a sense of security.
Yan Yue rolled her eyes helplessly. Although she couldn't see, she could feel Nong Jin hanging on her like a large pendant.
"Brother Jin, you are an Immortal Emperor after all, can you show some promise? Where do ghosts come from in the world of immortal cultivation? They are just monsters and demons."
"Demons and ghosts are more terrifying, okay!" Nong Jin retorted in a low voice, thinking crazily in his heart: Wife, although your husband is an Immortal Emperor, he is also an Immortal Emperor with good looks!
At times like this, of course I have to show my weak (crossed out) side that needs protection!
The two groped forward for a long time, and finally, a faint light appeared in front of them.
"There is light! There is hope!" Nong Jin was as excited as a 200-pound child, pulling Yan Yue and rushing forward.
However, when they walked out of the crack, the scene before them disappointed them greatly.
This is not a paradise, but a desolate ruin.
There are broken walls and overgrown weeds, and the air is filled with a smell of decay.
Ancient runes were carved on the broken stone pillars, emitting a faint light that made people feel even more eerie.
"This...this is an ancient relic?" Nong Jin was dumbfounded. "Why does it feel like a garbage dump?"
Yan Yue carefully observed the runes around him with a frown on his face.
She had never seen these runes before, but she had a vague feeling that they contained great power.
"Brother Jin, don't talk nonsense, there must be something strange here."
They searched the ruins for clues but found nothing.
As time passed, Yan Yue became more and more anxious.
Are they going to return empty-handed?
"Wife, we've been looking for a long time, but we haven't seen even a ghost. Could we be in the wrong place?" Nong Jin couldn't help but complain.
He felt like he was playing a super-large escape room game, and it was a hellish level of difficulty.
Yan Yue sighed, and she began to doubt her judgment.
Could it be that the method for the Qiankun Ding to recognize its master is not here at all?
"How about... let's go back?" Nong Jin suggested cautiously.
Yan Yue was about to speak when she suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching...
"Who?!" Yan Yue shouted. "Who?!" Yan Yue shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, a hunched figure slowly walked out from the shadow of the ruins.
His hair and beard were all white, he was wearing tattered clothes, and he was leaning on a crooked wooden stick in his hand. He looked like an old zombie crawling out of a grave.
However, his eyes were bright and sparkling with cunning.
"Hehehe, little girl, don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person." The old man grinned, revealing a few missing front teeth, which made him look even more ridiculous.
"Who are you?" Yan Yue asked vigilantly, secretly circulating his spiritual power and preparing to fight at any time.
Nong Jin also silently placed his hand on his sword, looking like a crazy man protecting his wife.
"As for me, I'm known as the Old Naughty Boy." The old man chuckled. "You came here to find out how the Qiankun Ding can recognize its master, right?"
Yan Yue and Nong Jin looked at each other and were both shocked.
This old man actually knew their purpose!
"You know?" Yan Yue asked tentatively.
"Of course I know," the old naughty boy raised his chin proudly, "There's no secret in these ancient ruins that I don't know! If you want to learn how to recognize the master, it's not impossible. Play a game with me, and if you win, I'll tell you."
"What game?" Yan Yue's mind moved.
"Guess the riddle!" The old naughty boy smiled mysteriously, "I'll ask you the riddle. There are three questions. If you answer two correctly, you win."
Nong Jin curled his lips and muttered softly, "Childish!" However, Yan Yue became interested. She wanted to see what this old guy was up to.
"Okay, I promise you." Yan Yue said readily.
"Listen carefully, question one: What gets dirtier the more you wash it?" asked the old naughty boy with a smile.
Yan Yue thought for a moment and then answered, "Water."
"Very good, very good! You are a teachable boy!" The old boy clapped his hands and laughed. "Second question: What do you clearly own, but you always talk about it?"
"Name." Yan Yue answered almost without thinking.
"Oh my, the little girl is really smart!" The old naughty boy's smile deepened. "Last question: What needs to be broken to be useful?"
"Eggs." Yan Yue's mouth corners slightly raised.
The old naughty boy was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Brilliant, brilliant! Little girl, you win!"
Seeing Yan Yue answering all the puzzles easily, Nong Jin's eyes were full of admiration, and he had the look of a fanboy who said, "My wife is the best in the world."
He hugged Yan Yue in his arms and said in a doting tone: "Wife, you are so great!" Yan Yue could feel Nong Jin's strong chest and hot breath, and her face flushed slightly.
Nong Jin lowered his head and kissed Yan Yue's forehead gently. Yan Yue closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth of the moment.
Their breathing gradually became rapid, their bodies pressed tightly together, and the air around them seemed to become ambiguous.
"Cough cough..." "Cough cough..." The old naughty boy coughed twice at an inopportune time, successfully causing the young couple to separate instantly as if they were electrocuted.
Nong Jin glared at the old naughty boy with resentment, as if saying: Old man, you ruined my plan!
The old naughty boy pretended not to see it, rubbed his hands, and chuckled: "Congratulations, little girl, on winning the game! The clue to recognize the master is in the secret room ahead, but..." He deliberately prolonged his voice, pretending to be mysterious, "The secret room has a powerful restriction. Whether you can enter depends on your ability."
When Nong Jin heard this, he immediately became energetic. He waved his hand and exuded a domineering attitude: "It's just a ban, it's nothing to worry about! Wife, let's go!" Yan Yue looked at Nong Jin, who was full of fighting spirit, and couldn't help but smile.
This man is really a fighting maniac!
The two came to the entrance of the secret room, only to see an energy barrier flashing with strange light that sealed the entrance tightly.
Nong Jin was ready to rush forward, but was stopped by Yan Yue.
"Wait, this restriction doesn't look simple, so reckless action is not advisable." As expected of the heroine who plays the pig and eats the tiger, she is still very cautious at the critical moment.
Yan Yue carefully observed the patterns on the ban and found that these patterns seemed to correspond to some ancient formation.
She pondered for a moment, took out a few spirit stones from her storage bag, and placed them around the restriction in specific positions.
"Try this."
Nong Jin watched from the side, his eyes full of admiring little stars.
My wife is awesome!
As the spirit stones were placed, the light on the restriction began to change, and the originally chaotic energy flow gradually became orderly.
Finally, there was a "click" sound, and the ban was broken!
The two entered the secret room and found it empty, with only a stone tablet standing alone in the center.
The stone tablet is engraved with dense words, which look obscure and difficult to understand.
"What the hell is this?" Nong Jin was confused.
Yan Yue walked forward and carefully identified the words on the stone tablet with a frown on his face.
These characters weren't ordinary characters from the world of immortal cultivation, but rather a much more ancient type of writing. She vaguely felt as if she had seen them somewhere before...
Suddenly, Yan Yue seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed drastically: "Oh no! This is..."
Yan Yue's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! This is... the writing of the ancient demon race!"
When Nong Jin heard the word "demon clan", he immediately looked around vigilantly and subconsciously condensed a long sword shining with golden light in his hand.
"Demons? Where are they? Don't be afraid, my wife, I'm here!" He looked like a crazy man who was protecting his wife, and Yan Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't be nervous, it's just words." Yan Yue held his forehead helplessly. This man is so cute sometimes.
"However, what's recorded on this stone tablet isn't a method of recognizing the master, but rather..." She paused, then spoke word by word, "a method of sealing!"
"Sealing method?" Nong Jin was confused. "What do you mean? Isn't this a magic weapon? How is it related to sealing?"
Yan Yue explained, "If my guess is correct, this so-called 'magic weapon' is actually an extremely dangerous magical weapon, sealed here by an ancient immortal. And what is recorded on this stone tablet is how to unlock the seal and...how to control the magical weapon."
Nong Jin gasped, "Fuck! This is so exciting? Then we still acknowledge the master or not?"
A gleam of light flashed in Yan Yue's eyes: "Recognize the master! Why not recognize the master? Such a powerful magic weapon, if I can use it..." She did not continue to speak, but the ambition and excitement contained in her tone were self-evident.
Nong Jin instantly understood what she meant and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Wife, tell me what you want to do! I will accompany you through fire and water!"
Yan Yue carefully studied the words on the stone tablet. Based on her memories of her previous life, she slowly translated these ancient demonic words.
The method to unlock the seal is not complicated. You just need to drip your own blood on the stone tablet.
But the next method of controlling the magic weapon made Yan Yue feel troubled.
"Need... to use the inner demon as a guide?" Yan Yue muttered to himself, frowning.
If you are not careful, you will be attacked by the devil and become possessed by the devil!
"Inner demon?" Nong Jin scratched his head. "What is the inner demon? Is it delicious?"
Yan Yue rolled her eyes at him: "You're still thinking about eating at this time!" She took a deep breath and her eyes became firm.
"Looks like I have no choice but to give it a try!" She stretched out her delicate hand, and a drop of blood radiating golden light condensed from her fingertips...
"Wife, wait!" Nong Jin suddenly called her, "Let me do it!" He grabbed Yan Yue's hand and said firmly, "Let me try first!"
Yan Yue was startled. Before she could react, she saw Nong Jin had already dripped his blood essence onto the stone tablet... The stone tablet instantly glowed brightly, and a powerful force enveloped the two of them...
"Jin!" Yan Yue exclaimed...
